Binding of bacteria and fungi.
Studies show that pathogenic wound bacteria have hydrophobic properties. And the more pathogenic they are, the more hydrophobic they are as well. Cutimed Sorbact utilises this principle. The more harmful the bacteria are, the more effective Cutimed Sorbact is. The Sorbact method also works effectively against fungi such as Candida albicans, so Cutimed Sorbact additionally offers a genuine alternative in the treatment of dermal fungal infections.

  Effective even against MRSA and VRE.
Fighting multi-resistant bacteria has become increasingly important in wound treatment and hospital management. It is good to know that the Sorbact method is also effective against MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staph. aureus) and VRE (vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus) as their resistance against antibiotics does not change their hydrophobic properties nor their ability to bind to Cutimed Sorbact.

  An intelligent way to fight toxins.
Once bound, bacteria are inactivated and their metabolism is slowed down. As a result, replication is minimised and so is the formation of bacterial toxins that impair wound healing. An additional advantage of Cutimed Sorbact over chemically active agents such as silver is that the pathogens are effectively bound but not destroyed which prevents the release of bacterial endotoxins.
